BAEL Code

For BAEL French code the following calculations are performed:

Beams

Calculation of theoretical (required) reinforcement area for ULS and ALS (accidental limit state).
Checking stresses for SLS states.
Calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing as for shear forces.
Re-calculation of theoretical (required) area to a bar number.
Re-calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing to a modular spacing in a given number of equal zones.

Columns

Calculation of theoretical (required) reinforcement area for ULS with taking slenderness into consideration (as for simple compression columns).
Calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing.
Re-calculation of theoretical (required) area to a bar number.
Re-calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing to a modular spacing at the length of a column.
